If you guys come in with depth you will be competetive right off the bat....the Big East is really fun, almost like NFL league due to no powerhouse and any team can win it any year and the games are actaully pretty good, close, and always fun to watch. THe media doesnt give us our due...look at how many great Thur night games the Big East has provided....this is just a taste of what the rest of the nation has missed on Saturdays. You guys will fit in well...

Around here, if we have a good year one year, we expect a bad one the next. The only exception was last year because we had the back to back winning seasons, we thought that the team had finally learned to be consistent.

You're correct in saying we have the talent to be competitive right out of the gate in the BE. Some of us just aren't sure if that talent is mentally capable of that right now.

oh...gotcha

LOL

For some reason I just like you guys...I like your name, colors, etc. Go Knights!

Looks like a lot of us were wrong with our preseason predictions. I've seen every UCF game this year (DirectTV loves them) and other than the usual predicted defeats by Ohio St. and Missouri they've been pretty much steamrolling everyone else (they haven't scored less than 33 points in any of their 7 wins). I really thought SMU would be a test tonight, but I guess not. Look for some poll votes starting this week. One more test at Tulsa in two weeks, which could be a preview of a rematch. They are clearly the class of C-USA EAST this year and if they stay healthy and consistent it could lead to a nice finish.

On a different topic, they appear to be Big East ready. Their size, speed and talent on both sides of the ball are better than I thought. The only thing in UCF's way as they migrate to the Big East is that 900lb gorilla of a record against BCS schools hanging on their back. Will they turn into Temple when they get there and go 1-11 for 10 straight years, or will they finally break through a realize all that "potential" the school, fans and media have been talking about for 25-years? Time will tell.
